Zeitgeist: The Movie

A friend tried to get me to watch it, but conspiracies theories and nutjobs only serve to make me laugh.

My favorite part is how they try to tell me 9/11 was a government job.

Yeah, thats the part where I clicked off, too over the top aluminum foil for me.

Wikipedia wrote: In addition to attracting significant public interest,[4] it has been criticized for relying too heavily on anecdotal evidence[7] and for using unidentified, undated, and unsourced video news clips, voice-overs, quotes, and book citations without page numbers.[8][9] In one of its few mainstream reviews the Irish Times called it "unhinged" and accused it of offering nothing but "surreal perversions of genuine issues and debates".[4]

A couple of minutes in google can find even more stuff than this.

Honestly though, I believed this when I first saw it as well, until I started looking around.  Heck, at some forum I visited about Atheism and Religion, if one even mentioned the Zeitgeist, they were pretty much automatically discredited.

Can't just blindly beleive it straight up

Says the man with the strike for the 9/11 attacks

I don't know, I'm watching it now.

I could definitly believe some of the stuff that is being raised and semi-presented to the audience.

A better put-together and less threatening version of the film with confirmed sources, etc, could be a very powerful and provocative piece.

There definitly is some shady **edited** that goes on around us.

The new thing is bubble space suits. Get with the program.

If you go to any serious religious/atheism debate forum and mention that movie and say you believe it you will be mocked. The information presented in the movie is backed by no evidence, no sources, no theological understanding, and most importantly, no facts. Another failed attempt at trying to undermine Christianity.

Notice I said reputable debate forum.

fstdt preys upon erroneous quotes from questionable people and like the bunch of angry 13 year olds they are, use no sense and try to lump all of Christianity into some wacked out quote. If you use fstdt to learn about Christianity then I don't even know what to say.
